<span>The culture contains 2*10^8 bacteria before it was exposed to ionizing radiation which kills 99.99% of the bacteria. The number of bacteria left after the radiation would be:

final number= initial number * (100%- radiation kill rate)
</span>final number= 2*10^8<span>  *(100%-99.99%)
</span>final number= 2*10^8  *(0.01%)
final number= 2*10^8  * 10^-6
final number= 2*10^(8-6)
final number= 2*10^2

The process takes place in the nucleus, after which the mRNA is taken to the cytoplasm for translation. One of the differences between RNA and DNA is the base thyamine and base Uracil, RNA contains base Uracil instead of thyamine.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Most living things need oxygen to survive. Oxygen helps organisms grow, reproduce, and turn food into energy. Humans get the oxygen they need by breathing through their nose and mouth into their lungs. Oxygen gives our cells the ability to break down food in order to get the energy we need to survive.
